While I understand the argument that more money buys better lawyers, in OJ’s case, I don’t think the lawyers were the hinge issue. That said, the OJ verdict was in theory how the system was supposed to work. A jury of his peers acquitted him. Maybe we disagree with the result, but the system should err on the side of innocence, and there was actually some legitimate problems in the DA’s case.

Mike F. No, just an example of how inept our system is, and how the difference between "guilty" and "not guilty" seems to be more related to money than whether one committed the crime.
